Voigtlander Nokton Classic SC 35mm f/1.4 VM

Blending a compact form factor with versatile performance, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 SC from Voigtlander is a fast wide-angle prime designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Using a symmetrical optical design, along with high refractive index glass, distortion and spherical aberrations are controlled in order to realie a high degree of sharpness, clarity, and even illumination. This lens also features a single coating, as opposed to a more common multi-layered coating, which offers a subtler image quality with slightly reduced contrast that is especially well-suited to black and white photography. Its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 2.3' away and a 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality to suit working with shallow depth of field.
